The Furies | ||
Epig. XXVI. In Vindicem.
Foule is the bird, that wil defile his nest;Yet Vindex worse then eyther bird or beast,
All women monsters euery where proclaimes:
Which to affirme the Stagirite he names,
Who sayes they are imperfect Creatures all.
Then what doth Vindex his owne mother call?
A monster? yes; then this must currant passe,
A monster woman bore a monstrous Asse.
